    Hey taco world! I’m Jorge (said like “George”). Just sold my 2023 civic and got a 2002 prerunner. Been needing/wanting a truck and was dreading the monthly payments on the civic. Love the customizability aspect of tacomas, not to mention the reliability. Looking forward to making friends here and learning from y’all.
